The appointment reinforces LOD’s commitment to growth in the Asia Pacific region and strengthens the firm's connectivity across Asia, the Pacific and the Middle East.
Responding to the growing need of General Counsel being supported by trusted advisors who have worked in industry and have the expertise needed to help their teams deliver results, Menadue will strengthen LOD’s ability to help them plan, implement and resource operational change to drive greater efficiencies. He will continue to build the successful secondment business and extend the full suite of LOD services, including retained advisory and consulting, managed lawyer teams and legal operations and technology consulting and solutions.
Tom Hartley, LOD’s CEO comments: “We are very excited to have Brett join our team in Asia. He brings an incredible depth of knowledge and experience which will be invaluable to our clients. With Brett’s passion for building empathetic client relationships and track record in driving business growth, Brett is well placed to meet the fast-growing demand for ALSPs within the region.”
Menadue says “It is an exciting time for the industry across Asia. Legal teams are becoming increasingly aware of the alternatives to traditional law firms and are wanting to be supported by experienced in-house counsel working in a different way. I have first-hand experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and needs of forward-looking in-house legal teams, so my focus will be to drive our solution-centric culture and deliver continuous value to our clients.”
